The Shift Spring Inspiration Awards
Shift the Kids Walk-a-Thon Announced

Marina del Rey – March 21, 2009 – The Shift Weight Mastery Process (Shift), a long-term permanent weight loss program, held its Annual Inspiration Awards yesterday and recognized Lisa Lillien, Hungry Girl website founder and bestseller author.  The event took place at the Creative Chakra Spa in Marina del Rey and featured amazing 100 calorie cocktails, low calorie appetizers and desserts that was a hit with everyone.  
   Shift recognized Lisa Lillien with an Honorary Award for her exemplary work as a positive supporter for more than 650,000 subscribers of her eNewsletter.  Lillien’s Hungry Girl phenomenally successful website provides tips, tricks and takes on new food products through daily emails and content about eating strategies.  Lillien is launching her second cookbook, Hungry Girl: 200 Under 200, available in April 2009.
   The Award program kicked off Shift the Kids first Walk off the Weight 5K walk-a-thon. The Shift the Kids walk-a-thon is a fundraiser to help build awareness about childhood obesity by working within the Los Angeles public school system.  The goal is to educate kids, teachers and parents in the skills of long-term permanent weight management.
   “Childhood obesity has reached an all time high in this country,” said Rita Black., Director, Shift Hypnosis and Motivational Resources.  “I am dedicated in creating a sustainable program that directly educates and assists adults and now to children in weight loss issues and challenges.”  
The 5K Walk off the Weight takes place along with the Westside Family YMCA on Sun., June 7 at 8 a.m. in Brentwood at 11640 San Vicente Blvd. at Darlington Ave.  
In preparation for the 5K, a two step process has been created – a Walk off the Weight workshop and an eight week training program.  On Sat., April 4th, a Walk off the Weight workshop will cover nine skills of permanent weight release.  The second step is an eight-week walking training program which consists of a one hour, two day a week walking training program.  The workshop and training program are offered for free.  Locations of the training program are at Pan Pacific Park and Santa Monica beach.
